Groove Blues is an album by saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1958 and released on the Prestige label. [3] The album was recorded at the same session that produced The Big Sound.
Reception
A review for AllMusic by Scott Yanow stated: "On Jan. 3, 1958, Gene Ammons led one of his last all-star jam sessions for Prestige. The most notable aspect to this date (which resulted in two albums of material) is that it featured among its soloists John Coltrane, on alto". [1]
